relying on nothing more than the power of super-heated
steam to loosen and remove different kinds of stains and
deposits. Whether you buy OEM vacuum cleaner bags or
after-market ones, you do not need to buy them straight from the company.

For bagless vacuum machines, check the compartment where dust is stored.

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 19:20:55 +0000http://blog.aopa.org/blog/?p=415#comment-2359I had the priveledge of being in the pilot seat of the Liberty Belle for the crossing and we are currently in London for alittle R&R. Tomorrow, (Monday 8th) we will be flying from Biggin Hill back into Duxford to be in position for Tuesday’s media day and a flyover of the Cambridge American Cemetery. On Wednesday, we will be flying over four former WWII bases: Lavenham, Thorpe Abbotts, Horam and Framinglinham. Of course, Framinlingham was the original base of the real Liberty Belle and base of the 390th. During the weekend of the 12-13, we will be displayed at the Flying Legends Airshow in Duxford. It has been an incredible adventure so far!

Thank you Mr. Marsh for tracking our progress and to AOPA! We will be headed back across the pond for the US around the 15th, so we hope that everyone continues to watch our progress live via Flight Explorer on the Liberty Foundation website. We owe you another ride in the Liberty Belle (and yes Al, I remember your visit during Paul Tibbits 90th Birthday with us in 1995)

Also, you are right Mr. Bordycott, the number buried at the Cambridge American Cemetery is 3812, so just under 4,000. However, a 300,000 misprint may have been caused from some of our material, as I had heard that number mentioned before. We will be flying over the cemetery on Tuesday, which should be a highlight of our entire visit in honor of people like your father and all of our veterans.

THIS IS A FANTASTIC STORY OF A GREAT AIRPLANE AND HOW IT CONTINUES TO INSPIRE THOSE OF US INTERESTED IN AVIATION HISTORY – THANKS FOR MAKING THIS PUBLIC.
HOWEVER IN THE INTEREST OF ACCURACY YOU MIGHT CHECK THE NUMBER OF OUR AMERICAN SOLDIERS AND AIRMEN BURIED IN THE CEMETERY SCHEDULED FOR THE MEMORIAL FLYOVER – I DON’T THINK IT IS 300,000. i THINK THAT MIGHT BE A TYPO – MORE LIKE 3000. I HAVE A PERSONAL INTEREST IN THESE CEMETERIES – MY FATHER IS BURIED IN NORMANDY IN THE BRITISH CEMETERY IN BAYEUX.- WHICH IS NOT FAR FROM THE AMERICAN CEMETERY ABOVE POINT DU HOC.
THANKS AGAIN FOR THIS ARTICLE.
